The Gilded Dinosaur

The Fossil War Between Cpe And Marsh And The Rise Of American Science

BY MARK JAFFE
The second half of the 19th century - the so-called Gilded Age -was also when scientists began finding dinosaur fossils across the western half of the nation. Could the answer to the history of life and the proof of evolution be found in these bones? That was the question two young American paleontologists - Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh - set out to answer. But what began as a friendly contestsoon turned into a bitter rivalry that would spill over into American science and politics and rage relentlessly for three decades. And despite his Quakerism, Edward Drinker Cope, like many of his colleagues, would prove to be ruthlessly competitive.

Gilead

A Novel

BY MARILYNNE ROBINSON

Writing in the tradition of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, Marilynne Robinson's beautiful, spare, and spiritual prose allows "even the faithless reader to feel the possibility of transcendent order" (Slate). In the luminous and unforgettable voice of Congregationalist minister John Ames, Gilead reveals the human condition and the often unbearable beauty of an ordinary life.

Give A Goat

BY JAN WEST SCHROCK, AILEEN DARRAGH

Gnostic Paul

Gnostic Exegesis Of The Pauline Letters

BY ELAINE PAGELS
In this highly original work, Elaine Pagels demonstrates how evidence from gnostic sources may challenge the assumption that Paul writes his letters to combat "gnostic opponents" and to repudiate their claims to secret wisdom. Drawing upon evidence from a variety of gnostic sources Pagels demonstrates how gnostic writers not on ly failed to grasp the whole point of Paul's writings, but dared to claim his letters as primary source for their anthropology, Christology, and sacramental theology.
